  • Publication number: 20070189999
    Abstract: In a composition comprising an oil-in-oil emulsion containing a first oil phase dispersed as liquid droplets in a continuous second oil phase, which liquid droplets have a number median diameter of about 1 ?m to 10 ?m, the liquid droplets are substantially covered with a layer of relatively smaller hydrophobically surfaced solid particles as a result of controlling the size and size distribution of the liquid droplets. The first oil phase optionally further comprises colorant and/or polymer. Also disclosed is a method for making such oil-in-oil emulsions.

  • Publication number: 20070189998
    Abstract: An stable oil-in-oil emulsion is disclosed containing a first oil phase dispersed as droplets in a continuous second oil phase, which droplets have a number median diameter of 10 nm to 1000 nm, wherein the first oil phase is substantially immiscible in the second oil phase and wherein the first oil phase comprises a liquid organic phosphate compound. In one preferred embodiment, the first oil phase comprises colorants, polymers, and/or other additives, depending on the particular use of the emulsion.
